Sun liked the whole concept of not being compatible with GPL...
This old chestnut again? I'm assuming this is based on Danese Cooper's comments. Well, Danese was wrong:
She is speaking this way because she lost an argument
inside Sun, not because her view is representative of the
views of Sun or its staff in the way she claims. She,
along with many actual engineers, was an advocate of
using GPL or OpenSolaris but the need to release rather
than wait for one of {GPL v3, Mozilla license revision,
encumbrance removal} meant that this was not possible. I
am still furious with her for the statement she made at
DebConf, which was spiteful and an obstacle to a united
FOSS movement.
